building a lowrider
 
ok i know alot of you wont be interested but you should have never clicked it then, right? i had a 1984 buick regal that was a hopper a few years ago, wasn't much too look at but it was a fuckign blast to drive and the bitches loved it. i'l try and dig sione picks up of it, trunk and doing work.

on with the real story: thsi lady im ------- really wants to make me happy and was texting me while i wa sat a friend shouse helpiog him work on anothe hopper in town, well this guy that makes dvd's in town was there and started callin gme out because i used to have a car that was king of the streets in my town.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaQUGpxOtaY

that's a sample of his ---- right there, makes nice dvd's with good soundtracks. oh and me and my cousin are the ones you guys can blame for it being legal to hit switches on th estrets in WA state lol, we went at them fuckers in olympia afte rso many tickets.

but anyways, this lady i know wants to buy me a car and front me the money fpor the hydros's, should be about $4-5K if i keep the stock paint and interior and just do it for inches but make it look deent. i'll look through my old online photo albums to see if i have any pics.

just need to know what you guys think about letting a chick invest that much money into a car you enjoy. dont need to hear that lowriding is for beaners, because i have heard that my whole life, and have suprised amny by nosing up and putting them to shame.

I want a 64 lincoln on 22's and bags lol, maybe hydros just to 3 wheel.

J-MAN 05-24-2008 05:57 AM

Re: building a lowrider
 
never seen a 63 lincoln, might have to google it. you can power 3 anything, even if it has bags. just have the front raised up and rear dropped, come to a stop, raise driver side rear if your turning left, then just step on the gas and turn like normal, ooh and dont ---- your self when the wheel comes off the ground and your passenger feels like their gonna get thrown out the car lol. if this trick comes through im defanitley bringign it to the next NW meet since most of you hoes will never ride in one because of racism. just feel safe i am white and crazy as ---- lol

bad, bad idea. You'll put all the work into the car, and then she will sell it out from under you. So basically she gets a lot of free labor

The pizza dude was talking about my lude last night and said he just picked up a CRX shell for $300 and throwing a zc in. I haven't heard anyone talk about one in a good min. I almost bought one from some :8 in a totaled EF back in the day for $250

I had a 77 civic hatch when I was 18, I'm 33 now. Had a shaved flywheel, 2 spd auto to 5spd conversion, header, exhaust, no coil springs and cut bump stops :1 That thing was the lowest car I have ever seen, pure gangster O0

Re: building a lowrider
 
I had a '79 hatch. Had 11:1 goldwing pistons, 4 delorto (sp?) side draft carbs, BIG cams, shaved flywheel, header and full exhaust, white line sway bars, koni inserts, and cut springs. Was just like riding a bike, no power till about 5500rpm, but at that point hold on right through 11000rpm or so. It's demise was at about 10K rpm a rod let go and smashed through the block. For years and years I had that now two piece rod hanging in my room, I think it is in a box some where now.

On the low rider front I had a Nissan ext cab, on those stock steel polished wheels, dropped down with homemade drop blocks, and some other ghetto ----, had the fake fabric soft top look, and 4 15" cerwin vega strokers. That ---- was loud and ghetto. ---- I'm glad that was a quick phase.

Back in high school I built a 76 monte carlo lowrider. 13" 120 spoke wires, white walls, shaved door handles, dual frenched antennae, maroon with a shitload of metal flake paint, swivel bucket seats in the front, 2 pumps 2 switches, one for front one for back....that fucker could lay oil pan. :)

After I finish my civic I'm going to go back to a lowriderish project.....s-10 mini truck.

I think you and I could be brothers :-*

I also had a slamed mazda b2200 with a built motor and a 2.2 ford probe turbo and mani.

My datsun 510 had two side drafts and a huge cam, made power at about 5500, redlined at 10,500 (valve float rev limiter) I didn't build that one it was a full race car I bought and put signal lights in, all it had was brake and signals, no charging system or anything else, lol. I rolled that bastard on road race slicks.

I miss my 383 v8 porsche 911 and my 54 vw bug ragtop the most. :-\

---- yeah, I always wanted to do that to my 89 box chevy when I was in high school. Till the business it was titled to went under and it got auctioned off.

My old man always busted my balls said there must be some mexican in the blood line somewhere cause he only saw lowriders when he was in tx with beaners driving.

Dude if you like orange chicken hit up trader joe's frozen section stuff is killer like 5 bucks a bag. Then get a white crx with a zc and grub on orange chicken while crusiin the blvd for bitches. Doesnt get any better than that.

Man that sucks. I have everything and everything from back in the day I was a camera -----. All my first swaps and doing the jdm d15b vtec swap in like 00 when we use to get sold those motors for 195 bucks has vx replacement motors classic. Throwing 80 shots on the stock motors and no one believing they had z6 rods in them ;D.


One of these days I need to scan proably 2000+car pics/swap/race pics

yeah, i'm not too hot on the wheels either.

I'd have to go with a classic hotrodder wheel or a set of wire wheels.
